Orlando Pirates look set to find themselves in hot water with the PSL after their fans invaded the Peter Mokaba pitch!
Orlando Pirates gave their fans much to celebrate on Saturday afternoon, but did they take it too far?
The Buccaneers romped to a 3-0 victory over rivals Mamelodi Sundowns at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.
The victory meant Orlando Pirates qualify for the MTN8 final which is set to take place on 05 November at the Moses Mabhida stadium.
And minutes after their triumph, fans invaded the field to celebrate their victory!
In the first round of the MTN8 this season, neigbours Kaizer Chiefs were punished with a R200 000 fine for the same offense.
Take a look at the chaotic scenes which will likely warrant a hefty ‘fine’ by the PSL below.
WE NEED THE IMPORTANT GOAL! – JOSE RIVEIRO!
“An away goal can be an important factor at the end of a game, but we need to score and we didn’t (in the first leg).” the Orlando Pirates coach told reporters before the match.
“There is no advantage for anyone so far, but we need to score. At this moment the score is 0-0.
“I am sure that both teams will start the game looking for that advantage (to score). So, it won’t change the way we prepare for the game, the approach, and the players we are going to select.
“We have been having three days between the games and we are trying to use the time as best as possible to prepare for the tough game and special journey on Saturday.”
